The person on this list that actually represents a mailing list so far
seems to like the idea, and has explained why to some extent.  I think
that's much more valuable feedback.

A proposal like this one might introduce new requirements, sure, but if
they solve a huge problem and people are willing to implement it, then so
what?  They're worth the work in that case.

My understanding of the constraint is that we need to avoid new
requirements that affect common mailing list practices, like footers and
Subject field tagging.  DKIM-Delegate establishes a requirement that
mailing lists sign the modified message in full.  In a lot of cases, list
software does that already; often it's the case that other software even
does that for them, so how much of a burden is this really?

The burden is actually on signers (who need to add DKIM-Delegate fields)
and on verifiers (who need to look for them and know what to do with them),
not on the lists themselves.

Or do you mean something else when you say "new ML requirements"?

Speaking personally, I usually ignore the summarily-dismissive notes
because I don't learn anything from them.  The more well-developed
criticisms are the valuable ones.

This is drifting toward the ad hominem again.  Careful, please.
